Might want to try some ads
[QUOTE=Rskore;5992913]So wondering if anyone can help me out some.
Looking for someone that won't break the bank but have trouble deciphering which ads are real and which ads are fake / LEO.
Can anyone help me out?[/QUOTE]Maybe try contacting a few of the ads. A local area code and unbroken English are two positive signs. Anyone asking for a deposit is a scammer. Check reviews and other ad sites. Real providers usually advertise in more than one place. TER is your friend.
Put in some work and you'll be rewarded.
Peace.
Quoted is good info. But there's more.
[QUOTE=JDWisco;6011636]Read the ads carefully and look for hints. I have seen images with an electric socket that's not the type used on the USA, which means the image was taken in another country. Not 100% give away, but highly likely the ad is fake. Also, look at products visible in the image. Look for products in the images that have a foreign language on the label / packaging. Images with watermarks for sites, or photo studios are probably fake ads. Images with date stamp showing in non-USA format. The US is the only country that puts dates in month-day-year order. All other countries use day-month-year. You can't tell if the date is 12 or less, but if the date stamp is 13-31 it will make a date that doesn't make sense in the US (like 25/12 instead of 12/25 for Christmas). Also look for British vs American spelling and usage. Most foreigners who learn English learn British English (word usage and spelling). I can also easily tell the difference between an American with a poor grasp of English (which is unfortunately very common) and a foreigner using a bad translation from their language into English.
The first thing I do after reading the ad is a Google Image Search on one or two of the images and click to view all images. If you see any sites that aren't ad sites then it is probably a fake ad that pulled images from one of those sites. If you see images from ad sites from several cities, click a few ads to see if they all have the same phone# and if the ad mentions traveling or some reference to when she's in town. If not, the ad is probably fake, because she can't be in Appleton, Miami, and Phoenix at the same time. It is OK if you see ads for Appleton and Green Bay, etc.[/QUOTE]Do a Tineye Image search and a Yandex image search also. Sometimes, more often than not with providers who request advance payment which is a red flag in itself, the person posting doesn't look to be at all genuine in their claims.
You can also do a google search on the phone number they share and sometimes multiple ads nationwide come up on that.
Go ahead and go a few days back in a Skipthegames or any other website in a city as far away in your country as you can get. Like if you're in Wisconsin and they have a simultaneous ad out in Miami, somebody's lying or they have a private jet. If you had a private jet you would be looking for something a bit more "sugar baby" like instead of wasting time with stanky crackhead STG posters. I prefer street walkers, because you can pretty much tell from the way they move if they're attractive, and I'm an adrenaline junky too. So the risk appeals to my lack of sensibilities.
Anyway.
